Post subject: Blesing of protection macro (probably been asked a million times)
Archived from groups: alt>games>warcraft (more info?)

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone can offer their understanding of the /
stopmacro option, and if what I am about to present below is feasible.
I am currently playing a Lvl 68.75 protection Paladin (Rķuge on
Karazhan-EU) and must say I am really enjoying it compaired to my
normal face melting Shadow Preist.
I have read on a few sites macros for using Blessing of protection as
a secondary taunt for Protection Paladins, but they can all fall foul
of the imbarising self bubble problem (I've done this a few times now
*blush*).
So, i was wondering, can i use the /stopmacro line to overcome this?
My idea is something like this.
#Showtooltip Blessing of protection
/cast [target=player,mod:alt] Blessing of protection
/stopmacro [target=player,nomod][target=targettarget,player,nomod]
/cast [help,nodead] [target=targettarget,help,nodead] Blessing of
Protection
In my mind this will
1) Cast BoP on me if I hold alt
2) Do nothing if I DONT press alt and im the traget, or the targets
target
3) Cast BoP on a friendly non dead target, or on a friendly no dead
target chich is being hit by a hostile that I have targeted
It looks too good to be true, and I have not tried it yet, only just
dreamt it up. Does anyone have some comments on why it would/would
not work, or improvements?

Not sure on the stop macro command with options at the end as the
macro hasn't started how can you stop it. you are just putting
conditions on whether to click or not.
What you could do is:
1) Cast BoP on yourself if you press ALT
2) Cast Judgement if you are the target or targettarget and ALT is not
pressed
3) Cast BoP on a friendly non dead target, or on a friendly no dead
target chich is being hit by a hostile that I have targeted
something like:
Showtooltip Blessing of protection
/cast [target=player,mod:alt] Blessing of protection
/cast [target=player,nomod][target=targettarget,player,nomod]
Judgement
/cast [help,nodead] [target=targettarget,help,nodead] Blessing of
Protection
That would get something like what you're after, just casting
judgement if you're the target or targettarget and BoP all other
times.
I use Clique to do my BoP, I have alt right mouse click assigned to
BoP in Clique, then I click on the persons UI frame to BoP them. This
removes the chance of accidentally clicking on myself t and BoP-ing
myself. Although that is funny when it happens.
I remember a time in kara on the Prince fight when a Pally healer
acidentally Divine Intervention'd the main tank rather than healing,
hehe we all died and the tank thought he was bugged as he couldn't
move. Well was funny looking back, not at the time hehe. |

Hmm, obviously the whole macro depends on this.

Interesting, I see where you are coming from (although I dont really
want to judge seal of righteousness on myself :p)
What is there to stop the macro casting judgement, and then immediatly
still cating BoP on me, the targets target? Im back at the same
problem.
An example from wowiki for a Illhoof macro which I use on my shadow
priest:
/cleartarget
/target Demon Chains
/stopmacro [nodead, harm]
/target Kil'rek
/stopmacro [nodead, harm]
/target Terestian Illhoof
So in this example the /stopmacro has conditions applied [nodead,
harm]
What is worng with the condition [target=player,nomod]
[target=targettarget,player,nomod] in this context?

I try not to have too many mouse clicks, mainly a hot key cruncher.

Hehe, which reminds me I need to make a /cancel aura macro to stop any
of that nasty stuff should I accidently get bubbled.
Thanks for your reply.

Just a quick update......
[target=........] can not be used as a condition in a /stopmacro
command, and so my macro did not work 
After a bit more digging around, I did find a fairly good solution,
involving the use of the [party] condition check
This seems to not return true for the player (me), and hence I can not
bubble myself by mistake!
If anyone is interested I will post the full macro, dont have it handy
at the moment.
